Notes

Press release: "In advance of the broadcast in next week's Strip!, Duncan Nott conducts an interview with Karen Wenborn about her company's adaptations of classic literature in comics format. Classical Comics are publishing three versions of Shakespeare texts - the original play (unabridged), a 'plain text' version and a 'quick read' version for students of varying age and ability and have so far adapted Henry V and Macbeth. Classical also have forthcoming graphic novel adaptations of Jane Eyre & Great Expections which are to be shortly released with more to follow, so Duncan talks to Karen about these books, the challenge of fitting in with the National Curriculum and encouraging children to read."
